It must be said that Fu Jing is quite intelligent; she knows what her father is concerned about. Unfortunately, Fu Minghao only instructed Sister Xu to quickly find someone to take Fu Jing to the hospital, and then left with Zhu Fanfan.
Tan Fuya only glanced at it and said nothing. Fu Jing looked at her mother and said, "I'm telling the truth. It really was Zhu Fanfan who pushed me. She's a devil. She's not my daughter at all. She was switched by the Zhu family. No child in our Fu family is disrespectful to their parents."
Zhao Di and her siblings are all very filial and have the same temperament. They are all quiet and well-behaved. If Zhu Fanfan were her daughter, she would definitely be a well-behaved child as well. She must have been switched with someone else.
Tan Fuya smiled bitterly: "The Fu family has no disrespectful children? Fu Jing, you should never have said that. No matter what Fanfan is like, she is only a five-year-old child. Fu Jing, put your hand on your conscience and tell me, when you were five years old, could you beat an adult woman?"
A five-year-old girl pushed a four-year-old boy down the stairs and dragged an adult woman to slam her head against a wall. Who would believe that?
Fu Jing broke down: "You don't believe me either? Am I not your biological daughter?"
Tan Fuya said, "If you weren't my biological son, you wouldn't get a single penny when the family is divided. Now that Sister Xu is back, you and Yaozu should go to the hospital for a check-up. I'll have someone tell Xue Fu to take care of you. Don't come back unless necessary. Your father and I have worked hard all our lives and want to live out our remaining days in peace."
Fu Jing couldn't believe that her mother had really abandoned her. However, Sister Xu half-persuaded and half-pulled Fu Jing away. Xue Yaozu had recovered, and no one in the Fu family spoiled him, so he obediently went with his biological mother.
Upon arriving at the study, Fu Minghao asked Zhu Fanfan to sit down: "It seems like we haven't had a proper chat since you arrived. Fanfan, actually, your grandfather really envies your grandfather."
Zhu Fanfan was puzzled: "My grandpa is stingy, loves to sneak snacks, and holds grudges. What's there to envy about him?"
Fu Minghao didn't answer and said to himself, "Of all your generation, you're the one I trust the most. You're confident, lively, kind, and you also have the ability to protect yourself."
On the surface, it seemed like Fu Jing bullied Fan Fan, but she knew her own daughter well. Fu Jing wouldn't lie; Fan Fan must have hit her. The fact that Fu Jing couldn't fight back showed that Fan Fan was highly skilled in martial arts, and all of this was taught to her by Zhu Jiabao.
His time in the compound wasn't wasted; he learned that Zhu Jiabao's four children were all outstanding before their sacrifice, with the eldest becoming a regimental commander and the rest doing much better.
Fanfan was poised and confident throughout, acting freely yet with a sense of propriety – this is how a child who has received a top-notch education should behave.
Zhu Fanfan agreed and raised her chin: "I also think I am very good. If it weren't for my young age and my grandfather's concern, I would want to travel around doing good deeds and become a respected knight-errant."
Fu Minghao was amused: "Your grandfather raised you very well, you have guts. I only have a few daughters left, and their children all have half of the Fu family bloodline, so I have a responsibility to the children. It's just that my ability is limited, I didn't raise my daughters well, nor did I educate my grandsons. It's my dereliction of duty."
Zhu Fanfan listened to her grandfather's disjointed words and wondered what he was trying to say. She comforted him, saying, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. There's a saying: 'Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate.' If your grandchildren are filial, then enjoy the happiness of family life. If they are not, then keep the money in your own hands, eat and drink as you please, and don't leave them a penny. Enjoy yourselves."
He got excited towards the end: "Or we could just let whoever is filial inherit the family business, and kick out the unfilial ones and disown them."
Seeing the conversation drifting further and further away, Fu Minghao interrupted, "Fanfan, do you think Grandpa treats you well?"
Zhu Fanfan was a little confused. Had the topic gotten so far off track? She still honestly replied, "My maternal grandfather is very good to me, just like my paternal grandfather. Everything he does is for my own good."
Fu Minghao stopped beating around the bush: "Fanfan, although my daughters are selfish, they are still my own flesh and blood. I would like to ask you to spare the lives of Fu Jing and her family."
He was certain. Fanfan hadn't been able to hide the murderous intent in her eyes before, and this time she didn't even bother to conceal it anymore. She might really wipe out Fu Jing's entire family, even if her daughter was no good, she was still his own flesh and blood.
Zhu Fanfan fell silent. How did her grandfather know she wanted to kill Xue Fu's entire family? He had just saved her, and she didn't want to put him in a difficult position: "Grandpa, do you know that some people are born with memories?"
Fu Minghao really didn't know where to find such extraordinary people. After all, things that happened before a child was three years old would become blurry and completely forgotten as they grew up. They couldn't remember anything from before the age of three. He had heard that some people had memories from childhood, and these people were now famous figures.
Thinking of something, she looked at Zhu Fanfan in surprise. Zhu Fanfan nodded: "I do. I have the memory of Xue Fu's biological mother pricking me with needles when I was born, but I don't know what it means. I just feel a lot of pain and want to cry, but when I cry, Xue Fu's mother and Fu Jing will hit me. The harder I cry, the harder they hit me. If I try to hold back my tears, they will scold me."
Later, after she improved her mental strength, she remembered every moment after her birth. She could feel the pain and despair of the original owner of the body, even when the baby was only a few days old. She had no good impression of Fu Jing's family. If it weren't for her eldest sister Xue Zhaodi finding her maternal grandfather, she would have been dead.
Fu Minghao knew he had no right to persuade Fanfan of her decision; she was the one who suffered the consequences, and Fu Jing deserved to be punished. However, he wanted to plead for a chance for his own daughter.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Grandpa, is it enough to just spare their lives?"
Fu Minghao nodded: "As long as they are alive, that's good."
Now it's a new society. As long as they don't commit crimes, the Xue family won't be bad off. At most, they'll suffer some hardship.
Zhu Fanfan also made a demand: "I want Xue Fu to be an ordinary worker for the rest of his life. The factory should suppress him at all times and not let him stand out. Then I will let them go."
As long as Xue Fu can't cause any trouble, Fu Jing and her mother-in-law will be kept in check and unable to do anything. Fu Jing's biggest reliance is her maternal grandfather. As long as her maternal grandfather is not of one mind with her, she is destined to get nothing.
Fu Minghao agreed. He hadn't originally planned to let Xue Fu join the management team. Xue Fu had serious problems with his conduct and would set a bad example. However, he could keep him in check with some benefits so that he wouldn't cause any trouble.
The father and son reached an agreement. Zhu Fanfan kept reflecting on herself, wondering why no one treated her like a child. Was it because she was too independent?
Before she could figure out how to deal with the Xue family, Xue Fu arrived, specifically requesting to see Zhu Fanfan. Zhu Fanfan found this intriguing; she hadn't even taken any action yet, and Xue Fu was already begging for mercy.
